Things to Do When You’re a Teleworking Aerospace Engineer or Aerospace Engineering Student
Many aerospace organizations are having their employees work from home to mitigate exposure to the coronavirus and keep communities, especially the most vulnerable members, safe and healthy. AIAA applauds and supports this decision.
We encourage everyone to follow the coronavirus safety guidelines set out by the WHO and CDC.
We understand you still have work to do and may be looking for new ways to connect while you telecommute. We can help.

Webinars
On Demand Recording Available
This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by Lockheed Martin.
AIAA and Lockheed Martin have assembled a stellar panel to bring you up to speed on space sustainability. This rapidly evolving topic encompasses sustainability efforts on Earth facilitated from space, actions to mitigate orbital debris, and continued safe human access to space. Learn how the latest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues from climate change to human rights relate to space-based systems and join in the discussion on what is being done to support space sustainability.
This event is open to the public and free of charge.

Mars 2020 Rover Aeroshell. The aeroshell for the Mars 2020 rover was designed and built at Lockheed Martin Space near Denver and is comprised of two parts, the heat shield and the backshell. About 15 ft in diameter, the heat shield uses Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablator (PICA) tiles to ablate the intense heat during Mars entry. The backshell uses a thermal protection material called SLA561v which dates back to the Viking Mars missions. Credit: Lockheed Martin
